Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an elastomeric end piece intended for high voltage electric cables. By incorporating into the elastomer one or more substances whose electrical impedance reduces as a function of the voltage applied, such as silicium carbide, zinc oxide doped with cobalt or bismuth, the titanates or zirconates of alkaline or alkaline-earth metals, the distortion of the radial electric field at the end of the cable which could cause disruptive breakdown is avoided. Application to the end of high voltage electric cables, especially in polluted urban areas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A molded elastomer insulator for protecting the end of high voltage electric cables of a diameter of up to twice the diameter of said insulator, said insulator being of elongated cylindrical shape and having an open end, the other end being open and terminating in a flared conical portion, the included angle of the interior of the conical portion being between 100° and 110°, said insulator containing by weight from 100 to 200 parts of hydrated alumina per 100 parts of elastomer, said insulator being stretchable to accommodate and receive said cable.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A molded elastomer insulator for protecting the end of high voltage electric cables of a diameter of up to twice the diameter of said insulator, said insulator being of elongated cylindrical shape and having an open end, the other end being open and terminating in a flared conical portion, the included angle of the interior of the conical portion being between 100° and 110°, said insulator containing by weight from 100 to 200 parts of hydrated alumina per 100 parts of elastomer, said insulator being stretchable to accommodate and receive said cable.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A molded insulator as defined in claim 1 wherein the wall thickness of the conical portion at least for the major part thereof remote from the cylindrical portion of the insulator is greater than that of the elongated cylindrical portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A molded insulator as defined in claims 1 or 11, and further including in the elastomeric mix at least one substance whose electrical impedance diminishes as a function of voltage applied.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
A molded insulator as defined in claim 3 wherein said substance is selected from the group consisting of crystalline silicon carbide of a particle size<50 μm, zinc carbide doped with cobalt, zinc oxide doped with bismuth; titanates and zirconates of alkaline-earth metals, alkali metals, lead, iron oxides, manganese, zinc, nickel; and barium ferrites.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A molded insulator as defined in claim 4 wherein the total of said substance comprises between 100 and 500 parts by weight per 100 parts of elastomer.
